PacketFence makes use of operators' SMTP-to-SMS gateways. Almost all the time, it'll work very well but sometimes, these gateway can be unavailable for a short time, have huge latency and such. Starting from v6.5, PacketFence also supports Twilio for sending SMS. It is a paying service from them (but is very reasonably priced) but somehow guarantees very quick delivery times.
